Weekend Watch: A Stranger Things Spin-Off & The Funniest Sports Dramedy On TV

About this episode

The episode discusses the new animated series of Stranger Things and a popular sports dramedy on Netflix.

Stranger Things is officially back, but not in the way you expect. We’re breaking down the brand-new animated series that takes us right back to Hawkins in 1985 and Laura is clear on whether this return to this universe is a worthy addition to the lore or if the lack of original voices makes it feel like a different show entirely. The show we’ve been championing since day one is finally back for season two, and it’s arguably funnier (and more chaotic) than ever. If you love Ted Lasso but wish it had a Succession-style family dynamic, this Netflix hit is your perfect weekend binge. It’s messy, heartwarming, and completely unmissable. Plus, we talk about the incredible guest stars making us laugh this season. Love binge-watching TV?
